I don't know anything about Tolkien -- was he a university professor? In
what way did he put Beowulf on the map?
I am not sure that people have really ever forgotten their myths and
folklore, although major popular interest may be more cyclic. A resurgence
in occultism during the early parts of last century are surely a part of
this, as are the psychological investigations of Carl Jung and maybe the
cultural obsessions of the Nazis. In what way can Tolkien be asserted as
prime mover here?
